Setup of a 5 m long Straw Tube prototype for the SHiP experiment — •Rishabh Moolya, Caren Hagner, and Daniel Bick — Hamburg University

The Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) experiment is a proposed, general purpose fixed target beam-dump experiment utilising the 400 GeV Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) proton beam at CERN. It is specifically designed to search for hidden particles, at the intensity frontier and to also study tau neutrino physics extensively for the first time. The SHiP hidden sector (HS) detector is designed to detect the decay products of hidden particles decaying inside its ∼50 m long vacuum decay vessel. An essential role is to reconstruct the tracks and determine the momentum of the charged particles produced in these decays. This is the purpose of the Spectrometer Straw Tracker (SST), consisting of roughly 16000 straw tubes, each 4 m long and 2 cm in diameter.

A prototype consisting of four straw tubes has recently been set up at Hamburg University. The status of the commissioning and the first results will be presented.
